The cover of Tom & Joe’s Diner menu says it all. “Tom & Joes’s Diner…Where People Meet and Eat. Generations Serving Generations.” I’ve told you many times that the people we meet on our travels are the most important part of our road trips. It’s the “locals” who set the tone for the “feel” of […]
French Toast – No Bread Left Behind!
French toast is such an easy breakfast treat…and a great way to use up “old” bread. Recently we invited company for dinner. And half a loaf of French bread was left over after the meal. You know I hate to throw anything away, so I threw the slices in a plastic bag. Then those slices […]
Ebelskivers – Danish Pancake Balls
Ebelskivers are actually easier to make than to spell, and you can trust me on that. By now you know how much I love thrift store shopping, and that’s how I found a brand new Ebelskiver pan at our local Salvation Army store years ago. I stuck the pan in a cupboard in our garage […]

Banana Nut Bread – A Make Ahead Bake Ahead Treat
Banana Nut Bread is a great breakfast treat…any day of the year. The other day we took a short road trip to visit a dear friend here in the Heartland, and I wanted to take her a gift from my kitchen. I remembered I had some overripe bananas in my freezer, so I knew just […]

Breakfast is more than a meal at La Bastide Bed and Breakfast. It’s an elegant, two course, gourmet “taste of Oregon” on a plate. (Disclosure: Thank you to La Bastide Bed and Breakfast for hosting our stay. But, as always, the opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own) The beautiful dining room set […]
Cinnamon Rolls From An Amish Mix – A BIG GrandCamp Baking Event
When Amish women bake cinnamon rolls they don’t mess around with small batches since they are always baking for a crowd. It’s never just one or two pans since many Amish women have eight or ten kids and a hungry husband to feed. to So when we stopped at the Amish run Stringtown Grocery during […]
Meemaw’s HEALTHY “Kitchen Sink” Muffins
The word HEALTHY sometimes gets a bad rap…especially when it comes to food. Most people think of things like alfalfa sprouts or slimey green mystery drinks…but that’s not my version. I set out to create a healthy muffin using ingredients I already had in my pantry and in my refrigerator. Check out my healthy NO-FAT […]
Christmas Morning – Carla Hall’s Ham and Gruyere Quiche
Christmas morning 2017 dawned crisp and icy in Indy. (Our little convertible looked more than ready to head South the next day!) But inside we were toasty warm and happy. And after the family opened all of their gifts, they scattered to the far corners of their house. And I was left in the peace […]
Eggs Benedict Casserole…With A Sausage “Twist”
Our Indy son Nick is a great cook, but when I arrive for a visit I like to give him a break in the kitchen. But as hard as I tried, one morning several days before Christmas he beat me to the kitchen and he served up a creation that will become a “go to” […]
